indigenous people, which i'm glad our school took time to do. i was surprised even though wef? observed the holiday known as columbus daysvñ? weekend we didt educate our children on why we observed it. i found it ironic that something indigenous could be perceived as principals and teachers and parents weret÷ñ?ñ?ñ supportive d these types of events provide acceptances and understanding of other cultures and give us better understanding and appreciation of our own. so even though it was a labor of love and strong emphasis on labor and love, that this was a collaborative effort that would not have happened without the support of our principal, our internal pco board and the family voice and of course the indian education program.

although don't get excited because it only stabilizes us temporarily but at least we'll know what we will be getting for the next several years. so we had some goodíl9[ç around what that will look like. we still have -- we won't have any mid-year cuts for 12-13 but we will be seeing cuts in the coming years. so there will be deficits that we'll be facing, in the coming years. we talked about the mandated cost block[u&,9- getting some additional dollars from that. and then the budget projections were bleak. they continue to be bleak. so once again, we're not -- we're still in a position where we'll be cutting and modifying and adjusting for next year.

giving. >> who's first? commissioner wynns. >> commissioner wynns: i just mandated cost block grant be distributed to all the board members and hopefully at some time in the future we could have a discussion about that, because how this is going to work, this is another new change to the funding structure. it would be good for us all to know before we do the budget next year, to understand that better, i think. thank you. >> can i just encourage, if you haven't received this, mr. lee, all of the board members we asked for your input on what you'd like to hear. coming up we'd like to do our budget committee earlier rather than later knowing there are additional cuts we have to focus on and to set our priorities. we also have had several discussions around this possible

supplemental coming from the city so there will be some discussions around what we're going to be doing to continue to fund what the city is potentially going to be funding. tough decisions to make and we want to do it earlier rather than later. so did you get any feedback from anyone? i'm going to put you all out there now. >> i hate to do this commissioners but no i haven't received any feedback yet. if it would be helpful i can resend recirculate the e-mail. i know it was at an inopportune time for a lot of you. >> we want to encourage you because it's information like the block grant you had requested, commissioner wynns that helps understand the budget better and will help us make priority choices which we know we will have to do. thank you. >> vice president norton nngetsd i was going to ask the same question about the materials that commissioner wynns asked.

okay. >> commissioner yee, i can do this later but based on the discussion i just had with deputy superintendent lee this afternoon and something i will be doing tomorrow, i think it would be good if somewhere in the budget committee we could cuts, and what the impact of those might be. >> the fiscal cliff you mean? >> well i'm doing a conference call tomorrow with nsca about the possible impact of equest ration. but whatever they look like, and if they occur, it would be good for us to understand what that impact might be on us, i think. that's another piece -- something that we're going to need, information we're going to need if we're going to -- before we start doing the budget development in my view, we need to understand these various things. thank you. >> commissioner -- >> i just wanted to announce that the mission education

center is having their annual first thanksgiving on friday, and the chinese education center is having their first thanksgiving in america for their students next week on the 20th. >> commissionerh1ñ?ñ?ñ maufas. >> commissioner maufas: you continue to draw out the meeting because it's not yet close to 7:30. thank you. >> we're trying our best. item t, report ofç actions. closed session actions of october 30, 2012, board of education with a vote of 5 ayes, two absentees and -- in the case of the 9th commission corporation versus?áh cgc-is 1-51387, san francisco superior court pursuant to which the district will acquire fee

pick up the image on television and show or broadcast that. in addition to that the air conditioning is not on. so please do have patience with us today. we are going to try to get through this meeting as quickly as we can but also make sure we have full public process while we are doing that. we have also set up another room. room 263 as the overflow room. if you are not able to find a seat in this room, we do have another. room 263 across the hall for overflow capacity. so that concludes my announcements. >> mr. young, item one. >> item one, resolution authorizing san francisco department of public health to retroactively accept and expend grant of 120,000 from california wellness foundation to participate in program entitled adolescent health working group health education collaborative for the period of october 1, 2012

through september 30, 2014. >> thank you. we have michael baxter from the department of public health on this item. the other thing i should mention is for department heads or budget analysts on either side of the rail, when you make your presentation please come up to the podium to speak. we will not be able to pick up your image on the other side as well. >> good morning supervisors. this is a simple request. the california wellness foundation is giving the department 120,000, 60,000 of each over two years. it is supporting a larger project between the department of public health, unified school district and about six community-based agencies. we are in support of the unified district's recent resolution to support 15 hours of sexual health education in the class room for all ninth graders. so this is partial funding for that project. >> thank you very much. this item there are no matching funds required?

>> no. >> no additional staffing? >> correct. >> great. with this item we do not have a budget analyst report with it so i would like to open this for public comment. any members of the public who wish to speak on item none? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> motion to approve. >> we have a motion to send this forward without recommendation, without objection. item two. >> resolution authorizing department of environment a grant of 400,000 from united states department of environmental protection for preparing cleanup plans for potentially contaminated areas in southeast san francisco in support of the bluegreenway project for period of october 1st, 2012 through october 31, 2015. >> supervisor chu, supervisor avalos, mr. rodriguez, department of environment. we are here seeking your support of the resolution.

it is a grant the department received from the epa to continue our brownfield project effort in the bay view and hunter's point community. this will allow us to go out and inventory brownfield sites, do site assessment, preliminary work and identify properties for potentially linking the blue greenway project to it. this is in partnership with port of san francisco, parks alliance in order to open up greater access to the southeastern waterfront . in addition this was announced with the epa as a companion effort. the epa awarded 400,000 in workforce training to hunter's park family and workforce for collaborating with hunter's point family so their folks have an opportunity to gain access and expertise as we do this project. we urge your support of the resolution, thank you. >> thank you very much. on this item, similarly

there, are no matching funds required or additional personnel hired? >> that's correct. >> okay. we don't have a budget analyst report item either, so why don't i open this for public comment. are there members of the public who wish to speak on item two? come on up. >> hi, supervisors. i'm tom king. i'm not a lobbyist or a paid employee here. i just had a meeting locally here. i just wanted to come because i think the focus throughout all the budget meetings should be on reducing expenses. my main concern is that the agendas are not detailed enough. i think they should be more detailed for the public to better evaluate. with respect to this item, 400k seems kind of high. wondering how many sites are involved. something basic like that would help the overall evaluation, thanks. >> thank you very much. are there any other speakers?

>> good morning, supervisors. my name is karin woods. i worked on the blue greenway project for six years with the neighborhood parks council, which is now the parks alliance. this is a really good step forward to get this grant because while the port has done a tremendous job of creating parks along the blue greenway, there are gaps. this will help determine whether there are any environmentally challenged areas of the southeast waterfront could be included in the blue greenway. i urge your support, thank you. >> thank you. are there other members of the public who wish to speak on item number two? seeing none, public comment is closed.

to the gentleman requesting more information we want to absolutely make sure we are providing as much detail as possible from the documents we have been provided. the 400,000 is a grant provided by a different entity. we are receiving the dollars, not budgeting it from the fund. it is a grant received and allocated from the usepa. they are the folks who actually do determine the level of funding that is necessary for -- or that they are giving per each grant. the grant would be able to perform an assessment on eight to ten properties, so this will continue to help us along as we take a look at different sites throughout the city. if there are additional questions you may have on this particular item perhaps i can ask for a follow up. thank you. we have public comments. do we have a motion to send this forward with recommendation? >> madam chair? >> yes. >> retroactivety. >> thank you. before we do that do we have a motion to accept the

grant retro actively? this is beginning october 1st, 2012. we passed october 1st so we need to approve this retroactively to october 1st, 2012 and send the item forward with retroactive approval to the full board for recommendation. >> so moved. >> we have a motion, a second. we will do that without objection. thank you. item three, please. >> resolution authorizing san francisco department of public health to retroactively accept and expend grant of 196,10 $4 from centers for disease control and prevention to participate in program entitled medical monitoring project for period of june 1,2012 through may 31,2013. >> thank you. we have dean goodwin from department of public health. >> good morning. this is a surveillance activity grant, an ongoing
